Oh I would LOVE to do this!!! If they have one in WA state, even better!

My last dog, a small, fuzzy, chubby little 25lb mutt, who normally loved everyone, surprised me one day. Idk what happened, since I came home to this, but as I was walking home from the store, (btw my driveway was a long country one, and my house was way at the end). My dog, Cujo, (who looked like a long hair Beagle/Sheltie mix), was standing right at the doorway, of a wide open front door. Barking his little head off! Like their was someone there I couldn't see. He never left the doorway. He was lunging, barking, showing his teeth and everything!! He never did that. What I think must have happened, was someone decided to break in, but then got chased out by my dog! Idk how long he was standing there, barking, but as soon as he saw me approaching the house, he backed off and stopped barking. It never happened again. Thankfully, my cat I also had at the time didn't run out. Cujo also rescued a litter of kittens that would have starved, otherwise. But that's for another time. ❤️

Awesome, I'll check that out. (Challenge). & Yes I already know

I am growing them inside, due to chemtrails and I don't want them being taken, etc. I have a mat I have them on, and they're getting as much sun as I can possibly give them. & Yes, I have drainage holes, I plan on watering them outside so it doesn't get everywhere, as Idk if the mat is waterproof.

I decided to see if I could grow some veggies at my apartment. So far I have potatos in a bag, and tomatoes & onions in buckets. I ran out of soil, so I had to start the mini bell peppers in a red solo cup! I have the cherry tomatoes, btw. Everything is from seed. (Ish, do seed potatoes count as a seed??) Btw, it's only been 10 days since I planted everything. Will update when something green pops up! ☺️🌱 (Fyi the potatos are russets) Btw I am trying to get a BB for this.

Far as the Guinea Pigs, what do you think they were used for in New Guinea??? The natives there would eat them. Idk how much meat they have, they, like small birds, were probably ate by the dzn. Idk what was done with the rest of them, but I do know natives don't waste, so it had to be used for something 🤷‍♀️

Even Paul's quote turned into a meme, while entirely true in a strict sense, only remains true in its proper context: yes, one human can change into a net positive force for the planet, but that argument breaks down at some point. 500 trillion humans, no matter how permie-esque they try to be, simply can't fit in this planet. Especially not if they still want some places to remain "zone 5".

So yes, some of us, like Josh, live in places with few other humans. Others, like me, can't reach a single trace of actual wildlife in a thousand mile radius.

But what was Paul's post about, really? Does it have a single answer, or like so many other things, "it depends"?

I think it depends on the individual/couple. Not everyone wants/can have a kid/kids. That's fine. That's why there are so many kids waiting to be adopted. What we should be doing, anyway. Instead of making more, while homeless kids wait and get kicked out once they hit 18.

I would love to have a little cabin in the woods. Love it. Away from the entire world. I haven't been on here much because life has gotten in the way. Also, I was moved into, (against my will) a 600sqft apt. With very high rent. Kinda dampened my wanting to do this. So now I am trying to homestead in a tiny apt. That thankfully has a decent sized, walk in pantry. (Btw if this isn't in the right blog post, etc, feel free to move it). I would still love to join in again, but can't do much in a tiny apt. 😞

again - this is an unfair and misleading equivalence. not all realistic scenarios that involve less children on earth are "dark" and not all people that chose to have less children are somehow emotionally deficient or unhappy.

eh?  
That's an interesting read into what I wrote.

As a childless individual, I didn't know I was supposed to be emotionally deficient and/or unhappy.  thanks? I never had kids, 1 because I never was a kid person, more a furbaby person, and 2, it just never was in the cards. I find it a lot easier, and cheaper, to be childless, and you can do things on a whim, where you can't with kids. You don't have to worry about the govt and their latest plans for them, (although I would homeschool, anyway), you can sleep in, and just do whatever it is you want to do. May seem selfish, but I'm just being honest. 🤷‍♀️

i allowed a nerve to be hit - it is my reaction without asking that is at fault - i owe you a big apology - i am so sorry.

I am sorry, to my best knowledge we do not have a forum called `photovoltaic` so I moved it to the Solar Forum.

Maybe the person who suggested that knows something I don't know.

I hope the information that S Bengi has given you answers your question.  

If not please ask more question.

Gotcha, Thank You. Never heard of Photovoltaic before. Yes I was confused.

Sorry for causing confusion.  I am probably the one who introduced the idea of a photovoltaic thread or forum.  What I was trying to suggest was that the question might get more attention somewhere other than the passive solar thread…. Just a generic idea more closely related to solar panels.

Ashley, I’m glad you’re receiving the guidance you need.
